It will soon be after midnight
Long since the sun has gone down
I'll be waitin' by your window
'Til your feet they touch the ground
We'll hitch a ride down to the station
To catch a bus car train
Leaving trouble far behind us
And let the distance do the playing
For can't you see I love you woman
Since I first laid eyes on you (yeah...)
(Chorus):
For tonight we'll be together
There ain't nothin' they can do
On this midnight rendezvous
Before that day I was pre destined
To ride that same old lonesome track
Drifting right was my direction
Like smoke ejected from a stack
But from the time I came across you
My heart did burn with desire
With just a smile you held me captive
And set my world on fire
Please take a chance on us now, baby
If they will come to see it through (yeah...)
(Chorus)
They're still marring our misfortunes
Laying all we have to waste
Trying to keep us separated
The moments lost can't be replaced
How can I promise you tomorrow
If I haven't got today?
But with some luck we'll surely make it
In love (???) words can convey
Let's steal away now from the sorrow
And kiss goodbye the life we knew (yeah...)
(Chorus x2)
